i was just wondering how many people has this website has been really good for rather it be finding someone to talk to or someone offering help even if you dont know them, advice on things that you were curious about or just wanted to learn more about because or me this site has help ive met alot of wonderful people and ive learn alot of interesting things that i didnt know or know alot about so i geuss i was just curious on how it may have helped any of you.... :)
i'd say this website has helped me tremedsly as, i have found good friends who understand me, a place where i can talk about things which would usualy be 'taboo'
This website is very helpful to me in my ways. not only on the belief in vampires but also with literature, music, and different types of vampires
Its about Vampire Rave so you have the correct section, but please watch the grammar folks! If you make a contribution to the forum make sure you at least have punctuation and spelling correct, otherwise how could you expect to gain any credibility for what you write? Or how could people take what you say seriously? ..Plus remember if you make grammar errors there is every chance you will get nutshells thrown at you by the Squirrell... "...what squirrell...ooohhh, that squirrel."!! heh
This sight has helped me so much. I've never had so many freinds that share my obsession for vampires. Where I live this sort of thing is practacly unheard of.
i know what ya mean night child..... im glad that this site has been helpful to all of you i love it becouse you can talk to so many different people who have either the same interests or the same life style that you have its a great place for people to come together to me and its also a nice place to come to when you just need to get away lol
What this site does for me is both simple and complex. I am unsure of how to explain it. Here I can get information of many things that I wanted to learn more of. Here I am able to be me, without the pretty mask that society demands I wear when I am among 'Them'. Here I have made several good friends who know more about me than most anywhere else, and who have even assisted me in discovering more about myself. Here I am comfortable being me. Where I live I have to play by the rules of the proverbial they. Here I do not. Irregardless of what I may say, or how I choose to express myself, I am accepted. That is a wonderful, and rare occurance in life. I am thankful to have stumbled upon this site, and once again I give my thanks to Cancer for it's creation; as well to all others who have contributed to it's continued existance.
Yes this place has become my main online community. I've met alot of great people here, and the forum topics at times range from entertaining, to interesting, and in some cases they even make you think. Its nice to see that good mature internet communitys DO exist.
Yes it helps me spend my time,say my opinion on subjects that are a taboo in my country ad met other people from my country and outside it.
Nice JJ I to have met many who I call family here and many I wish I never met at the same time well not many I wish I have not met just a few but all in all the site is my fav. place to go online. there are amny points that make up the site that are good and few that are not the name calling and things like that but it is the best site I have seen yet.
I've finally found people who are interested in the same as me, this site to me is amazing
i guess it hasent really helped me but i really enjoy been a part of the whol vampire rave thing
The rave has helped me out many times, too many times to count and remember! :P I've gotten some great advice from people in threads, and by just talking to people. There've been a lot of times I didn't have someone to talk to at home over here, but one of my buddies here on the rave was there to talk to me. Yes the rave is quite the helper, and it's also saved me from boredem :D
i have learnt a lot about vampyres since i joined.
this site has also helped me in finding friends and most importantly to mention, I have found my partner vampyric666 on here
erm yeah it has but its too additive and can screw up your head hehe
VR - the only place where CANCER is a good thing.
This site should come with a warning....
"MAY CAUSE LACK OF SLEEP"
LoL yea, when I can't sleep at night from my insomnia, the first place I go to is here. ;)
Definitely, this site has given me so much more than any of those who surround me in my everyday life can understand. My parents are worried cause I spend so much time here, and they don't know what it is... I have tried to explain to them but they strongly believe that I've been dragged into a sect or something, simply because of the name "Vampire Rave". I could not possibly explain to them what I do here and why it means so much to me, cause it's always been the one, essential part of who I am that they just refuse to accept.
Anyway, I've found everything that I need on VR. I've come to love life cause I've discovered that it isn't all hopeless after all, there are people out there like me.
I have found a couple of friends that I am very close to, I love them all to death and they have all given me so much... more than I can explain.
But, most importantly, I've found the one thing that I truly need in my life, love. That "one, true love" that I didn't think existed... And I am happier now than I've ever been before.
I honestly don't know what I would do without VR.
I'll never tell my amily about this site they won't understand especially cause there's the word vampire in it.
Infact that's another reason why I come here,it's like a refuge.
Yup ...
The truth can be very touching indeed... :)
death:
I know exactly what you mean. I didn't tell my parents about VR, I just wasn't careful enough... My mom usually just bursts into my room and she saw the name "Vampire Rave" a couple of times, then she got worried and told my dad, and then my dad wanted to have a "serious talk about these vampires I'm talking to"...
Meh.
Rofl that's why I lock my door.And get asked;Why do you spend so much timeo n the internet?What do you do?They're always obsessed that am chatting with someone involved in a sect or something -_-
Much better edited for the bigger part, and good to see this thread going somewhere :)
Lol Cancer, that's why we keep coming back to this place...
help? I found a lot of ppl to talk to, but the site didn't help me in my life and how to live it
I have to say the biggest freak is the one who dreamed this up. The rest of us are mere shadows.
;-)
yes it has, when im upset i go here and talking to everyone calms me down and everyone is so niice
I found Aleks here.
I've made so many new friends here.
When I'm most lonely, depressed, etc, etc, I come here, and everyone cheers me up.
And yes, this site should come with a warning. "VERY HIGHLY ADDICTIVE."
I'm ALWAYS on here now. Just to talk to my friends. It's a way to keep in touch and meet new people. And I'm lucky.
I don't live with my parents, so I have no problems with the "vampire" thing. My brother and I both believe in many of the same things and he's used to my oddball sites. >.> Like Myspace lol.
Freaks freaks freaks!!!
A place for freaks to meet freaks.
well i got the opportunity to meet a lot of cool new people:)
freaks indeed, at least i'm not alone now. being a freak where i come from isn't cool. my interest in the occult is now something fun to have, before i couldn't share my opinions for fear of being excommunicated. now who cares what happens!
I have had some major personal issues that I didn't feal like i could really express anywhere but here and I have found friends and people who would let me be me without feeling like I was not up to par.
I don't know if it's because I haven't been on very long, but I haven't really met anyone to talk to or exchange facts and knowledge with???
hey lady j, i have enjoyed this site very much, but as it seems my stay may come to an end here, becuz of the one reason i dont like this site, the ignorant people that dont know how to shut up. but other than that i do love this site, it helps to keep each of us in the house to stay in touch, which is another reason i dont want to leave. but i have met a many different people here that i like. very good thread.
Here, I find interesting information, great laughs, in-depth discussions, get mad, cry, and have about 6 people that I consider have made my life more enriched just through reading their threads and messaging them. Something definitely works, hell, I keep coming back.
To Cancer, "I know you are but what am I?"
V.R. is great I love looking at the beautiful art work in peoples profiles, and I am amazed at the creativity people use to set their portfolios up. It's so wonderful and the people here are great.
It most assuredly has- I have found some of the best friends, both male and female, that I have had in a long time- truly intelligent people who have helped me both personally and with my vampiric searches...yes, this site has been a wondorous discovery for me
my new home:)
my new addiction:(
my life shall never be the same
I think the simple aceptance of tortured writting has helped many.
It has helped me "kill" many a hour. I always have something to keep me from boredom's door now.
this website has helped me loosen up and be my self more around people i dont know and its helped me meet alot of cool people
This site has helped me develop many a migraine headache.
This site has been a grreat deal of help to me. It has introduced me to a new world in the vampire community, espically after the debunking of Father Todd and the Sangunarium in NYC.
It's nice to be able to talk to people without haveing to walk on eggshells, in ffront of my friends.
Yes it has, and thanks to Cancer I can feel at home here..I used to think I was so alone until I came here. I love it here..
im sorry cancer (hands you an advil and a glass of water) im so happy that ive gotten so many responses to this thread and im glad that all of you have found friends and a new addiction to have thats healthy kinda .... anyway lol but im glad that it help so many in good ways rather it be cailming down ,someone to listen to you when the days ben rough , or just to have fun and free your mind from the crappy boaring parts of life i have grown very addicted to this site and love signing on everyday it gives me something to do all the time and im never without someone to talk to which is great :)
This website is a great community, and I would like to thank everyone who has thanked me for serving. I have met some very interesting and wonderful people on here that strengthens my reason for fighting.
Getting out of my own head and dealing with a Totally Fab international community, has YES, helped in Big ways. Thanks guys/ gals!!!
it has helped me to feel less isolated, helped me find a place to talk to other true believers instead of people who play at vampire stuff, helped me to feel less secretive about my thoughts, feelings etc on the subject
friends ,
other opinions ,
found photobucket and used it ,
banter with other vr members ,
improved the LIMITED computer skills i had.
Hey Cancer...try this medicinal coctail we give out in the unit...
800mg of ibuprophen
1000mg of acetaminophen
Mountain Dew
Headache gone and the added bonus of bouncing off the walls.
I take 800mg of ibuprofen pretty regularly.
I wouldn't add the second part unless I wanted a liver in the morning.
And Mountain Dew... Well, I know a lot of people here probably drink it... But it's goat piss.
My dearest, Lady Lillith:
I thank thee for this thread ... and Yes, I have found a place to purge, and place to heal and a p[lace to love ... I have learned more than I initially imagined ... I have met TRUE kindred ... and I have loved and I have lost ...
I am, as are many, grateful to Cancer in his "freaky" efforts ... and I am gratefull to all who have contributed to these halls and our community ... please continue the great work that all of you are doing ...
~+~ Lord Rhiakath ~+~
..to these halls? I like that better than threads. Thanks.
It's really helped me to see how many others there are like me and to learn more about things and see other people's opinions
This website has really helped me develop my R.S.I. further and to such an extent I am going have to learn one finger typing with my left hand!

Yea it helped me meet new people and i also found some people with kool point of views and logic.
Well its given me a new home, made friends and enemies, but most of all found my partner lordvampirio.
well, it's just nice to be around like-minded individuals. i feel right at home here.
thIS syte haz halped me get gooder grammer an spallink
tanks youz
Slightly. Since coming here, I have had a few people read some of my writing and check out my books. I have also found that there are many here who could easily fill my needs for new muses.
yes... it helped me. i found here more people like me.all i love about art and stuff is here
Yes, it was my first stepping stone into a world which I was ignorant of.
I can admit that it has had a substantial impact upon my life and my outlook and my priorities have changed due to it.
Such people that I have met since have shown me what it is to feel a gamut of emotions. It lead me to find others that have helped me to truly understand myself.
This place fills the middle ground between fun and intellectualism with an exceptionally unique creation of Cancer's mind and I value it and those people that make a positive contribution to the overall sense of community.
Yes sence all my friends have moved away and Im the only one left around here I feel this site is starting to bring me closer to good friends aka family
this website has helped me realize that there are other people out there like me....
Yeah it has. This site has let me meet many lovely people and find new music to listen to (always a plus)
This site has helped me in so many ways. i have found some great friends and found some lengthy conversations with vampires..which others may find crazy :P
This is a place to come and join people of like mind. it has been a place for us to make new friends learn and exchange ideas and we both enjoy this site very much. I introduced a friend of mine to vr. and she became instantly hooked!
I never really had any way to tell if vampires were real. Everyday my opinion is changing on that. I am starting to think more about it and as I do so and the more people I talk to, I am learning more and more. Someday I may be able to come to a conclusion and make my decision final. I hope to know, but yes, it has helped me. . .
VR is slowly helping me cope and deal with the passing fo my wife (she passed away sept. 29, 2005. and I have made a couple friends so far adn I don't hae the money to become a lifetime PM though :(
Well 2 out of 3 ain't bad :)
This site has helped me in more than one way it has given me information that I did not know where to get it. It has opened my eyes to the fact that I am not alone with some of my thoughts. I have also met some really nice and interesting people.
A quick thanks to cancer for this site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
THIS SITE HAS HELPED ME IN ALOT OF WAYS .I HAVE MET SOME REALLY COOL PEOPLE
It's not that it has help me but in fact I have at least met some cool members, & at least I dont get bored to death all week :D
VR has helped me in finding people who share my dark interests and given me information on things of which i wished to learn more
Absativly posiloutly. Where im from there are too few of our kind and we're not looked to favorably upon, so much to the point that some peeps i used skulk with turned away from the darkness, and actually will not converse with me anymore as ive stuck true to myself. Its refreshing to know that there are others out there as comfortable as i am of the darkness. So a huge thanks to Cancer for creating fantabulious site for us.
im sticking with cancers last post.. its better than what i was going to say..
the website has really helped me. there r just too many ways though and i cannot say them all. i have met people from other countries and have made tons of friends....so i guess i can say that this website has helped a lot of people
this site has helped me out a lot i have meet a lot of kool people and i learned more about me in the inside
This site has been a wonderful release of stress. I have met great people along the way.
In my opinion, there isn't a single person who doesn't like this site. This place is awsome.
It has helped me in many ways one the people two the music three the freedom and four all the awesome friends I have made
this site has helped emencily. i get to talk to people that are simular to me, i get to have great conversation. and i also get to meet new people.
So far this website is amazing. In my school there's only one person that really understands every inch of me, but on this website it feels like there's so many people that I connect with.
yea, i can express myy opions in a place where pple are just about the same
let all give cancer a big round of applause(claps in a circle ) he created this and we all love it so cancer thanks alot we love the work you did and do for this site its freakin awsome :)
It's helping me with research for my book, so yeah, I find it helpful.
Has VR helped me in any way?
The answer to that is "YES!" I am alive because of VR! I was very... depressed and suicidal when I found VR! (Don't ask how I found VR: I feel like VR found me!!! I was... drawn to it...) With the help of LuminaEssance, RedQueen, thebatt, and others, I found ways to deal with all the bad stuff that was/is going on. And I found darkdad!
VR brought a lot of good into my life, starting with life itself, going on to friends who I feel as if I've known for forever, and more! This is my safe haven, the place where I can be who/what I am without being regarded as a freak!
in this website i have found a second home, i have many friends and have forged companions for life, i can experience love and hate safely and talk about common interests
I have found that this site has been very helpful. I do find myself spending more time on here then i do on other sites.
I do talk to a number of people on here as well. Some more frequent then others. But still. Those who I do talk to, do tend to help me if i do have questions.
I guess I'm just enjoying my time here regardless if it's looking through the site or talking to the friends that I have made.
I love this site! its like my home away from home. I met alot of cool people and I didnt think I would ever feel so welcome into a site until I came here. Thanks to my friend shadowmistress666 for telling me about this place. As I'm on here more each day I learn more new things that I never thought about.
Yes it has, in many ways.
Here I feel a freedom to express myself that I don't feel in most places.
Here I get the chance to take my face of my derrier, and look at others, and see that sometimes my problems are blessings, comapred to what others that give me the honour of sharing them with me have.
I created bonds with people that live across the Ocean, I found amazing writings and information, I learn everyday (grammar and english language included:P) and I can't get enough of that learning and contact with people.
To someone that lives in a small minded country like mine, this place is a heaven-like library for human mind and other researches that others consider foolish, pointless, but lead me to know a lot more about myself, and the subjects that interest me.
I found a second home that I miss when I can't come over, people I think about and are part of my life, and great teachers in all of you.
.....aaah, just gotta say it: Thank you Cancer.
this site has granted me phenominal cosmic power, in an itty bitty living space!
I love this site. It has been the best thing I have ever found on the internet. I have met some great people on here. But I have learned alot of things too. And I have found movies that I have never seen and now I have seen them. I also found some great books. I own quite a few of them now from the book list. I have found some awesome websites that people have made forums about. So I have gained friends and knowledge from this site. Who could ask for more?
I do think it has helped me. I find myself to be on here more and more everytime i log on to my computer. I've enjoyed talking to those who i've met so far.
Yes it's helped me make friends, vent, write, and help keep me sane
yes i was able to find more ppl like me and to talk to them.
ive noticed the one thing everybody has in common is that they have met great friends on here or its like a home away from home which i agree with alot , alot of members from my house are part of this site and since i had to go away for a while and cannot see them this helps me so i dont lose touch and i get to talk to everyone and it makes me feel really good becouse i was sad to leave still am i just want to see my family again
It has definitely helped me. I had been supressing that part of my life for so long. Where I live, it's not very common to meet another vamp. But I've met some through here and I don't feel alone.
yes it has helped me, ive found friends that i can be myself around, its great.
yeah, like i said before didnt know there was that many ppl out there like i am. i just wish more ppl would talk to me though.
I think this site has helped many people in many different ways.
However, time to move on for now.
Thanks for your posts, folks.
